Profile:
Dr. Dale is Professor of Speech & Hearing Sciences at the University of New Mexico, and Visiting Professor at Kings College, London. He received a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from the University of Chicago, and master’s degrees in mathematics and communication sciences, and a Ph.D. in communication sciences from the University of Michigan. His research and teaching interests are in child language development and disorders. His recent research has focused on the assessment, causes and outcomes of early individual differences in language development, including language delay; the relationship of language development to early literacy development; evaluation of intervention for communicative disorders, and cross-linguistic studies of language development. He is a collaborator on the Twins Early Development Study, a large, population-based study of genetic and environmental influences on development, based at Kings College, London. Dr. Dale is a Fellow of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, and of the Association for Psychological Science.
